Iron Bull Legend

Wang Ping left Tie Niu's office with a face full of joy. He wanted to tell his girlfriend the good news as soon as possible. This was not only a way to get closer to the leader, but also the best way to upgrade the relationship with the leader. Being invited to the leader's home to celebrate the New Year and being able to be with those second-generation rich people was really his chance.

This is also a kind of experience to broaden his future career path, and it is also an opportunity to come into contact with these leaders that even those who work in the same municipal government would not have the opportunity to do so.

Wang Ping's heart was truly filled with gratitude, so his steps became much lighter. However, as soon as he went downstairs, he bumped into someone at the corner of the building. It was Director Jiao, his future father-in-law, who came up to deliver some information.

"How come you have become so reckless and not steady at all?" Mayor Jiao couldn't help but criticize Wang Ping when he saw him bumping into him so recklessly. Although he was quite satisfied with this young son-in-law, necessary warnings and guidance were indispensable.

"Uncle, I'm so happy. Boss, no, it's the mayor who invited Jiao Jiao and me to his house for the New Year. He also invited you and Auntie. I'm so happy. Let's discuss it with Jiao Jiao and see what he thinks."

"Is this true? She will definitely agree, but let's just forget it. You just need to follow the mayor's steps closely, do your job well, and don't make any mistakes, otherwise I won't forgive you." Although Mayor Jiao was happy in his heart, he still warned.

"Uncle, don't worry. How could I do something wrong with such a good leader? It's not that I'm blind," Wang Ping quickly assured him as he looked at the joy flashing in the eyes of his future father-in-law.

"That's good to know. I'll send some information to the mayor. Please discuss with Jiao Jiao as soon as possible to see what good local specialties to bring to the mayor's home. Bye, I'll help you choose the things. Just go and talk to him." Mayor Jiao was also somewhat happy, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

"Uncle, the mayor said that we are not allowed to take anything. You don't know that some of our leaders came here and gave us local specialties. The mayor's return gift was doubled. We don't want it anymore."

"You are immature. No matter how much you bring, whether it is a gift or not is our intention. Whether he accepts it or not is his idea. This is a human relationship. You are still too young. Okay, go quickly." Mayor Jiao waved his hand to drive Wang Ping away, and went straight to Tie Niu's office.

"Mayor Jiao, please come in and sit down." Tie Niu looked up and saw Mayor Jiao, and greeted him hurriedly.

"Mayor Tie, I'm here to report something to you. Is that convenient? Since Wang Ping is not here, I would have come in directly." Jiao Yuankui smiled and did not tell the truth about what happened with Wang Ping.

"Haha, it's like this. I'm going back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year, and I chatted with Wang Ping about the white snow in the Northeast. Wang Ping really longed for it. And coincidentally, many of my friends are going there too, so I asked Wang Ping to help take care of them and delay Wang Ping's Chinese New Year celebrations at home." This is what Tie Niu said, but to Jiao Yuankui, it was an opportunity to expand his network.

“Haha, that’s great. He’s still young, so let him do more. If he does something wrong, you can take the trouble to criticize him directly. The kid has a good heart and will accept it humbly.” Jiao Yuankui also knew about their relationship and did not hide it.

"From what you said, Wang Ping is really good and learns things quickly. You have recommended a good assistant to me and he has done his job well." Tie Niu praised, which was also to make Wang Ping more favorable in front of his future father-in-law.

"Haha, it's still your guidance, Mayor Tie. I came here this time because there are many manufacturers at the New Year's Goods Fair that did not anticipate such enthusiastic purchasing from Yangcheng this time. Even now it is too late to transfer goods from other provinces here. Also, our local manufacturers have reduced their prices and have almost sold out their inventory, and production cannot keep up with sales. There are still a few days left. You see, many citizens will not be able to buy anything." Jiao Yuankui was talking about the New Year's Fair.

"This is an easy matter. We should contact the sister cities in the province and see if they have any good products. However, we must tell them that the quality of the products must be guaranteed. If any unqualified products enter the New Year's Goods Fair, we will immediately clear them out and hold them accountable. Also, for some companies in our city that were not selected for the first batch of participants, as long as their products are qualified, we will immediately add them to the list and let them enter as soon as possible."

Tie Niu thought about it and gave his suggestion. After all, it is the end of the year now. For many Chinese people, going home for the New Year is a very important thing. Therefore, everyone wants to go home and is unwilling to work overtime.

Now, the opportunity has been given to them. Hurry up to replenish the merchandise for the annual meeting and also give a chance to those companies that were not selected the first time. These are opportunities and even business opportunities.

"Mayor Tie, I didn't think about these things. I was thinking about ending the annual meeting and making a summary as soon as possible. I also wanted to make this a key point and talk to the merchants who come to the annual meeting in the future."

"Since this matter has been confirmed, let's hurry up and do it. Don't let the citizens who come later return empty-handed and disappointed. We must provide services from beginning to end." Tie Niu smiled.

"Yes, this was my mistake. I will remember it in the future." Jiao Yuankui often made self-examinations and felt his face getting hot. After all, he was already so old.

"Don't say that. We are all groping forward in everything we do now. Take accommodation and food for example. Food is easier to deal with, as we can just make do with one meal. But accommodation is a big deal, and none of us have considered it. So, we must think carefully about this next time we have an event like this."

"Mayor Tie, will we have many such incidents in the future?" Jiao Yuankui asked puzzledly. This time, the government made a considerable investment and did not get the money back at all.

"Mayor Jiao, we should not only organize activities, but also make them bigger and stronger. For example, we can bring together domestic enterprises to carry out national procurement activities, so that all the attention of the country will be focused on Guangzhou. We can use Guangzhou as a benchmark and a weather vane to lead the development of various industries in China." Tie Niu took a sip of tea.

"After we have accumulated a certain amount of experience, we will also hold international events to attract outstanding international companies to Guangzhou, invite them in, introduce their good products to China, and let China grow bigger and stronger through our Guangzhou platform."

"But, Mayor, if we don't charge any fees, we will lose a lot. We really can't afford it." Jiao Yuankui finally expressed his inner conflict.

"You have to take a long-term view. Have you ever thought that even though we invested in the venue and the booth for this annual meeting, and it seems to be a loss, have you ever thought about how much tax revenue will be brought to Yangcheng from logistics, accommodation, catering, and some purchases in Yangcheng? Let's not talk about that for now. Just think about the experience accumulated for us, which is something we can't get no matter how much money we spend. This experience is wealth, intangible wealth."

"Haha, I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed, I really didn't think of these, you are far-sighted, this... I won't say it anymore, I'm really not suitable for the development of society."

"Don't say that. With the help of you and Mayor Hu Zheng, we have accumulated a lot of experience and lessons for this event. This is because of your steadiness and meticulousness, which young people like me do not have. There is an old saying, "An old man in the family is like a treasure." Don't you think this is true?" Tie Niu smiled.

"Thank you Mayor Tie for your guidance. I will arrange those contacts now and find time to ask the mayor for advice later." Jiao Yuankui really learned something from Tie Niu, but he had more important things to do, so he could only choose to say goodbye.

"Okay, go get busy first, and we can sit down and have tea when it's convenient for us."

"To be honest, I can really learn a lot from being with you. I can only blame myself for not studying enough. I really envy you for going abroad and learning so much knowledge."

"Haha, Mayor Jiao, I got these experiences from macro analysis. In fact, I also did some things by trial and error. You don't have to praise me so much. I will be proud if you continue like this." Tie Niu laughed.

"No matter what, we still need to be knowledgeable and cultured. We still need to educate our younger generations. Only by learning more can we have more knowledge to support our work and go further."

"We should learn more knowledge, but we should also travel more and see more. Our ancestors' saying that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles is still very reasonable."

"Alas, sometimes, I really feel that I am out of date." Mayor Jiao Yuankui fell into the trap set by Tie Niu with his words. In this regard, he would never say anything bad about Tie Niu, because Tie Niu had read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.

Time was ticking slowly forward. After Jiao Yuankui left, Tie Niu sat there looking at the clock on the wall, watching the time ticking forward in seconds. Perhaps, today was the most difficult day for Tie Niu in such a long time.

It's time to get off work. Tie Niu stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looks at the people who happily walk out of the door and rush home. He feels like an ordinary person, living a peaceful life, a happy little day, a wonderful little day with a wife and children and a warm bed. He can't help but smile as he thinks about it. How old is he, and why is he thinking about such things?

Wang Ping went to the cafeteria to get some food, and Jiao Jiao followed him into the office. She helped Wang pick up the garbage on the coffee table, wiped it, and placed dinner on it one by one.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to please me first because you were thinking of going to my house with Brother Wang?" Tie Niu made a little joke while watching the two people busy.

"Hehe, look at what you said. I know you have a meeting tonight and can't go home for dinner, so I came here to help. You men can't do these things well, and I don't have anything to do when I go back, so I stayed to help." Jiao Jiao smiled and raised her head. They were familiar with going back to Huangmei Town together on weekends.

"Haha, thank you then. Sometimes, I often ask Brother Wang to work overtime here. You won't have any complaints, right?" Tie Niu wanted to tease his sister-in-law again.

"You don't know, my mom and I are used to it. My dad used to go out early and come back late. Sometimes I can't see him when I get up in the morning, and he hasn't come back when I go to bed at night. Sigh, I'm used to it. I work in the government, so I can't talk about these things. What do you think I should do if I don't understand more?"

"Yes, we must set a rule in the future. Even the municipal government cannot always force our employees to work overtime and stay up late. This is irresponsible. After finishing the work, you should hurry to get off work and don't always work overtime until late at night. Everyone has a family and everyone has expectations. Thank you, sister-in-law," Tie Niu expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Mayor Tie, you can't listen to my nonsense. I'm a woman and I don't know how to speak. Don't take it to heart," Jiao Jiao explained in fear.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. It's the negligence of our government leaders who didn't fully consider the feelings of the family members. In fact, in some matters, we can't always do things according to one person's will, and we can't always squeeze our employees' time. We also need to improve office equipment and make our administrative office work more scientific."

"Mayor Tie, even if you are implementing scientific management, there are still countless things to do, and there is no end to the work."
